This problem can occur if the decimal symbol is not set to '.' (dot). This is common in languages and locales other than English (United
States), such as German (Germany).

To change the decimal symbol setting, follow these steps:

Open Control Panel, click Clock, Language, and Region, and then click Region and Language.

Click the Formats tab, and then click Additional settings.

In the Decimal symbol field, type . (dot), and then click OK two times.

Restart the computer.

Note Some third-party software may cause changes to the runtime locale of the computer and override the setting in
Control Panel.
